Exploring the Role of Demographic Factors in mindfulness of salaried employees at workplace

Abstract

Mindfulness is a psychological concept that entails teaching the mind to control emotions and focus. It entails remaining focused, conscious, and present in the moment while also being aware of oneself, others, and the surroundings. Mindfulness is the practice of being completely alert and aware of one's surroundings and the occurrences of the present moment. Recently, physicians and psychologists have stressed mindfulness as a component of mental health. It assists individuals in changing maladaptive patterns, increasing awareness, and decreasing stress, worry, and unhappiness in both sick and healthy people. Scholars and professionals are increasingly concentrating on mindfulness as a crucial component of employees work engagement due to its enormous impact on both individual and organisational outcomes. Many scholars have explored the many factors that influence mindfulness of employees at work place. Psychological, behavioural, socioeconomic, and demographic aspects are among those considered. The current study examines how demographic characteristics affect employees' mindfulness in the workplace. A sample of 602 respondents was obtained using a structured instrument based on a 5-point Likert scale. The survey was done online. The acquired data was analysed using  multiple regression techniques in SPSS. The study revealed that age was the sole significant factor influencing the mindfulness of the employees, while gender, income, and education had no impact on mindfulness.
